John, my boy, with all due respect you are either ~trolling~, insane, or 
tone deaf.  I have had the distinct pleasure of hearing 30 Triumph Triples 
rip past me, I have had the honor of hearing 50 triples revving in a parking 
lot, all with a mixture of stock, "sport" and aftermarket cans.  A finer 
sound I have never heard.

Case in point, up in northern Arkansas last year, we are stopped at the Hill 
Top restaurant on Hwy 7, for lunch, I hear the familiar sound of on several 
4 cyl sport bikes at song coming up the road, a cool sound, but familiar.  
THEN as they pass, one by one (about 5 or 6 of 'em) I hear a ~different~ 
sound.  Sure enough a guy on a Daytona 955i is taking up the rear, a deep 
throaty HOWL, much better sound than the whine or the R1's and 929's.  I 
think the 4-cyl guys were actually running from the beast  :))

I guess it's like the Harley guys like to say........... "If you don't 
understand, I can't explain"

I hear there is a nice Vtec Interceptor for sale.....somewhere  <g>
